Following President Biden’s suggestion to ABC News that Vladimir Putin is a killer without a soul, Putin has begun questioning Biden’s mental faculties.

Asked on Thursday for his response to Biden’s criticism, Putin looked into the camera, smiled wryly, and remarked, “Be healthy. I wish him good health. I say it without irony or as a joke.” The Russian leader then launched into an anti-American rant about how the United States is built on the back of slavery and the slaughter of Native American tribes. Russia is not the same as America, Putin said, but has a “different genetic, cultural, and moral code.”
